DESIGN NOTES
Not all storage works the same. Some items are more difficult to store than others, even when space isn’t the issue. Doors and drawers each serve a purpose for stashing different types of items, especially in high-traffic areas such as bathrooms. That’s where we come in; we love teaming up with designers to help create storage solutions. When our kitchen and bath designers team up with Interior Designers, the results are excellent. We are open to working with your interior designer and even welcome it.
Vanessa Fleming, owner and designer of Acorn Interior Design, took the lead on remodeling a master bathroom in a Georgian marvel built in 1941 for her client. Vanessa’s clients fell in love with this home and even moved to Gastonia, NC, to live in this house.
It Started With A Plan
Vanesa started by making a wishlist of all the items the homeowners wanted to incorporate into the design. Then she did an inventory of everything in the closet (# of shoes, shirts, pants, dresses, etc.) so that we were able to design the space specifically needed for each item. We even had room in the closet for a pullout hamper that could stay out of sight.
As for the homeowner’s wish list, they wanted a separate toilet room, a large walk-in, zero-threshold shower with rain shower and jets. They also wanted space for two people to stand by the mirror at the same time, but not two sinks. The husband wanted a fully cedar-lined closet. With only one medium-sized closet in the master bedroom, another closet was needed. Some creative storage solutions were required.
There was so much wasted space in the previous bathroom because the bathroom connected “his and hers” master bedrooms. We were able to use all of that square footage by walling in the doorway that led to one of the master bedrooms, which is now a playroom. We also incorporated the playroom closet into the bathroom to allow more room in the new master bathroom.
